George Carlin used to attribute his chosen profession to the fact that it kept him from getting beat up as a kid. Certainly, this isn’t a revolutionary idea – using humor as a defense mechanism. George, of course, said it was a conscious effort on his part to defend himself, and, more importantly, cultivate some talent to attract women.
That must be how Hollywood was born, or at least how it became what it is today. All those people there to entertain others as a defense mechanism. Sure, Hollywood has its Russell Crowe’s and its Colin Ferralls, but its got a lot more Jerry Seinfelds and Will Ferrels.
However, I am referring to the larger picture, Hollywood as a whole as a defense mechanism. My tribe (the Hebrew tribe) is represented in Hollywood in abundance. All of those Jews gathering in one place to form a huge defense mechanism. Sure, go ahead, have another Holocaust – but say goodbye to your beloved movies, stand-up comedy, sit-coms (Tyler Perry, I suspect, did not have a Bar Mitvah so TBS sitcoms might go on, which is even scarier than a second Holocaust), and basically any form of non-sports related entertainment. We have our sports heroes, Sandy Kofax, but the only sport that might miss us is living through a Jewish mother.
Israel, as we know, went the other way. Thats where we Jews keep our big guns (literally). Over there, we beat people up, over here, we make funny faces. Either way, its hard to mess with us these days.
So it has come to pass that the Schneider family has been swept up by this tsunami of Jewish entertainment. I try to be entertaining here, and my brother tries on stage. Its disconcerting when you google your own name and the word “boner” and your brother pops up. I’m not sure what would be good to pop up, but definitely not your brother.
This video, though, isn’t the one where he talks about boners – you can find that for yourself. No, in this one he is the first Schneider ever to “get sexy.”
Matt, its not pretty at times, but there are some bits of corn in that crap.
Embrace Reality is his youtube channel (along with some fellow comedian friends of his).
